Boston, Feb. 3.-The Globe tomorrow
will print an article signed by one of its
staff correspondents disclosing the details OF
what is one OF the most heartlesS conspira-
cies in the annals of crime, and which i'm
measurably strengthens the old adage that
fiction stands no chance when truth is I'D,
| dressed and ready for business. The infor-
nation comes direct from relations. who
have been for months at work on the plot.
Some months ago the news was flashed
over the country that Mrs. MaIloy, the
noted temperance apostle. known and
loved by thousands, had been accused
| OF the most immoral practices, had
been the associate of social lepers and
an accomplice of prison convicts and a
| partner in their work. Throughout the
| West Mrs. Malioy visited many penal insti-
tutlons, eXertlng a statutory influence, and
was prone to speak of her prison boys with
whom she regularly cOrresponded. One of
them was George Graham. serving a SEN
tence for robbery. For him Mrs. Malloy
secured pardon and placed him OH a farm
at Springfield. Ehich property was left her
by friends. During Graham'S incarceration
his wife had procured divorce. At the
| farm Graham met, woOed and won Cora
Lee. Mrs. Malloy'S adopted daughter. 1t
soon transpired that prior to his meeting
with Cora Lee he had re-entered into
MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCE
with his divorced wife, The latter soon
appeared on the field and CONSERVATION
reigned. In the course of time she disap-
pealed and there was no trace of her until
badly decomposed body was found in a
we'll on the MaIloy farm. This body was
iHQntifiaA h1rt n1o
wife. George Graham, Cora Lee and Mis-
Malloy were arrested and tried for the
murder. Graham's testimony implicated
himself and the two women. He also tes-
| titled that he had been on terms of undue
intimacy with Mrs. Malloy. The latter
proved partial alibi and was ultimately
discharged. Graham was taken from
Jail by a mob and lynched. Mrs Malloy
employed detectives upon the case. and
after months of labor, they now assert that
Mrs. Graham is alive and the body
found in the we'll was eXhumed and placed
in the well as result of a conspiracy
When Sarah Graham was first missed it
was given out that she had gone to the Pa
citic slope to see brother named GOrham,
who is soldier in the regular army. De-
tectiveS were sent to the West to search
for her. The commander of the post where
OOTIldm is StaJlOneQ was communicated
with and gave the officers important aid. 1t
was found woman answering the deScrip-
tiOn OF Sarah Graham was in regular CORE
spondence with Gorham.
THIS UNKNOWN FEMALE
passed as Mrs. Blank. Her hiding place
was ascertained to be in small village in
Wyoming territory. In the same village
lived second woman whose real name is
Blank. Into her hands fell letter in
tended for the bogus Mrs. Blank, and in
the search for the real owner of the epistle
it came out that the said owner was taking
extraordinary pains to conceal her identity;
that she visited the postoffice only at hours
the least liable to be observed always ap-
preaching by rear street and entering by
the side door. Having lost one letter, she
gave the postmaster explicit orders regard
ing her mail and alsogave him the post marks
which her letters would bear. The detect
i've showed photo of Sarah Graham to the
postmaster and he Immediately identified
the photograph as that of the mysterious
Mrs. Blank. The present Whereabouts of
the woman are not known and search
and arrests are prophesed in the near fu-
ture. The motives of this conspiracy, which
resulted in Graham's lynching and the tar
.nishing OF Mrs. Malloy's fair name is said
to have been quarrel between Gorham
and Graham regarding the division of Ger
tain spoils and Mrs. Graham's wrath be-
cause her husband had bestowed his hand
upon another woman.
